         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Animals:Insects, spiders, slugs, frogs, turtles and salamanders are common. In North America, birds like broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers are found in this biome. Mammals in North American temperate deciduous forests include white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines and red foxes.<br>2. Plants:Temperate deciduous forests have a great variety of plant species. Most have three levels of plants. Lichen, moss, ferns, wildflowers and other small plants can be found on the forest floor. Shrubs fill in the middle level and hardwood trees like maple, oak, birch, magnolia, sweet gum and beech make up the third level.<br>3. Climate:The average temperature of the forest is about 50 degrees F. The average amount of rainfall in the forest is 30 to 60 inches a year. As the seasons change, so do the colors of the leaves of the deciduous. During the winter months water is generally not available to keep the leaves of some plants alive.<br>4.

         <title>Taiga Ecosystem</title>
         <author>304017</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Animals:Mammals living in the taiga include foxes, lynxes, bears, minks, squirrels, while larger ones include grey wolves and their preys: caribou, reindeers and moose. In winter, wolves hunt these herbivores in packs, often dividing themselves into two groups to encircle their preys before attacking them.<br>2. Plants:Not many plants can survive the extreme cold of the taiga winter. There are some lichens and mosses, but most plants are coniferous trees like pine, white spruce, hemlock and douglas fir. Coniferous trees are also known as evergreens. They have long, thin waxy needles.<br>3. Climate:The taiga is the terrestrial biome with the lowest annual average temperatures after the tundra and permanent ice caps. ... The taiga or boreal forest has a subarctic climate with very large temperature range between seasons, but the long and cold winter is the dominant feature.<br>4. Landscape: Rocky, has lots of trees.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Grassland Ecosystem</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Animals: Herds of Wildlife. Grassland ecosystems can support high densities of grazing animals. They are home to many familiar and fascinating species that live in herds, including zebras and antelopes, and the predators that prey on them, like lions and cheetahs.<br>2. Plants: Grasses dominate temperate grasslands. Trees and large shrubs are rarely found in grassland areas. There are many species of grasses that live in this biome, including, purple needlegrass, wild oats, foxtail, ryegrass, and buffalo grass.<br>3. Climate: Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures can be well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter temperatures can be as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. They typically have between 10 and 35 inches of precipitation a year, much of it occurring in the late spring and early summer.<br>4. Landscape : Woody plants, shrubs or trees, may occur on some grasslands – forming savannas, scrubby grassland or semi-wooded grassland, such as the African savannas or the Iberian dehesa.[1]</div>]]></description>

         <title>Chaparral Ecosystem</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Animals: Acorn woodpeckers.<br>Jack rabbits,Mule deer,Coyotes, Alligator lizards,Praying mantis,Horned toads and Ladybugs.<br>2: Plants: Some examples of plants in the chaparral are toyon, chamise, poison oak, scrub oak, Yucca and other shrubs, trees and cacti. The maquis contains plants such as myrtle, hawthorn, and broom. The Australian mallee is more open than these other types of chaparral and consists mainly of dwarf eucalyptus trees.<br>3: Climate:The climate of the chaparral biome is very hot and dry. Winters there tend to be very mild, with temperatures of about 50 °F. The winter climate is also known as the Mediterranean climate, which while not very rainy, is typically mild and moist.<br>4. Landscape: The chaparral biome is a part of each continent and consists of various types of terrain including mountains and plains. It is often confused with the desert biome because they share many similarities such as both being hot and dry. The chaparral biome receives more rainfall per year than the desert biome.</div>]]></description>

Climate: Image result for Desert Ecosystem climate<br>During the day the temperature may reach 50°C, when at night it may fall to below 0°C. Deserts have less than 250 mm of rainfall per year. The rain can be unreliable. Most deserts are found between 20° and 35° north and south of the equator. The Sahara is the largest desert, covering 9 million km2.<br>4. Landscape: A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation. About one third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Animals: Freshwater rivers are often home a wide variety of species from insects, to amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds and even mammals. Turtles, ducks, otters, crocodiles, catfish, dragonfly and crabs can be found in rivers all around the world, and the Amazon river is even home to the rare and pink, freshwater dolphin.<br>2. Plants: Water lilies, algae, and duckweed float on the surface. Cattails and reeds grow along the shoreline of many freshwater ecosystems. Estuaries house plant life with the unique adaptation of being able to survive in fresh and salty environments. Mangroves and pickleweed are just some examples of estuarine plants.<br>3. Climate: The temperatures range from 65 °F to 75 °F in the summer and 35 °F to 45 °F in the winter. The climate of freshwater biome is determined by a number of factors including location, season and depth of water. On average, the temperature will decline as the water gets deeper.<br>4. Landscape: Freshwater landscapes. Freshwater ecosystems (rivers, lakes, ponds, groundwaters and wetlands) and their catchment landscapes provide major services. For example, in the UK, 389,000 km of rivers transport water, matter, energy and organisms between air, land and sea.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Animals: Fish - Sharks, swordfish, tuna, clown fish, grouper, stingray, flatfish, eels, rockfish, seahorse, sunfish mola, and gars.<br>Marine mammals - Blue whales, seals, walruses, dolphins, manatees, and otters.<br>2. Plants: Algae in the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide and provides much of the Earth's oxygen. Examples of algae include kelp and phytoplankton. Other ocean plants are seaweeds, sea grasses, and mangroves. Back to the main Biomes and Ecosystems page.<br>3. Climate: he marine biome has a big influence on our terrestrial climate! ... Temperatures in the ocean range from just around freezing at the pole and in the deep waters, to tropical clear waters that are as warm as a bathtub. The average temperature of all oceans is about 39°F (4°C).<br>4. Landscape: Marine ecosystems are among the largest of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. Examples include salt marshes, intertidal zones, estuaries, lagoons, mangroves, coral reefs, the deep sea, and the sea floor. They can be contrasted with freshwater ecosystems, which have a lower salt content.</div>]]></description>
